Is there an easy method to open & eject A CD/DVD!

@HOBBS343 Welcome to HP Community!

Is the eject button stuck? If not, is there any particular reason you wish to know about the other methods? please elaborate.

Meanwhile, If using the Eject function in the software application does not open the drive, there might be an electronic or control problem. To resolve this problem with File Explorer, use the steps below.

1. Restart the computer. Click Start , click Power, and select Restart.

   Figure : Restarting the computer

   

   Wait for the computer to restart and boot into Windows.

2. Click Start . Then use one of the following methods to open File Explorer:

   • Click File Explorer in the menu.

   • Click the File Explorer  icon on the task bar.

3. Right-click the icon for the stuck drive, and then click Eject.

4. The door on the tray-load drive should open, or the disc in the slot-load drive should be ejected.

   NOTE: 

   A slot-load drive with no external eject button will only eject from Windows.

If the door does not open or the disc does not eject, continue to the next sections to manually open the tray-load or slot-load drive.
